Heritage Note
These "Chenille" or "Pipe Cleaner" ornaments are iconic pieces of Mid-Century Japanese export history. Following the war, Japanese artisans became world leaders in creating intricate, hand-finished miniature decorations. Because they were made from fragile materials like wire and fuzz, very few have survived in such vibrant condition, making this a sought-after set for collectors of vintage kitsch and holiday "MCM" (Mid-Century Modern) design.
